Wave Radiation Stresses

The wave radiation stresses are calculated using linear wave theory as (Longuet-Higgins and Stewart 1961; Dean and Dalrymple 1984)

  (1)

where:

f = the wave frequency [1/s]
= the wave direction [rad]
= wave energy = [N/m]
= significant wave height [m]
= wave unit vector = [-]


= wave group velocity [m/s]
= wave celerity [m/s]
= wave number [rad/s]

The wave radiation stresses and their gradients are computed within the wave model and interpolated in space and time in the flow model.
